Best described as an oversized herring, the twaid shad is a strong fish that's a lot of fun to catch on the fly.
            
    How to fly fish for twaid shad?

        You'll find twaid shad along the coast in the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco to Norway. You'll be able to catch them on the fly from May to September. They'll be hunting in very large shoals in the large rivers close to where these end in the sea (there where there's still tide). Best fished from a dam stretching into such a river on a hot summer day. When they're hunting there will be splashes on the surface of baitfish trying to escape. Don't be fooled though: the large shoal will be far below, even though you can see them hunting on the. surface. A DI3 to DI7 line is best, depending on how much current there is.
          
    What flies work best for twaid shad?

        These green or yellow, small baitfish patterns always work and are the only fly you'll need. Other small baitfish patterns can work too, but don't go too large: an EP streamer is too much. Depending on how deep they and what line you're using, you can opt for one with a tungsten head.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
